Macbook air running too slow

My Macbook air is runnning too slow.  I thought it was my internet service at home, but it is everywhere.  Can someone help me clean out old or unneeded files?  Thanks!

I wonder if there's some online activity going on (as it used to run OK) which is hogging CPU / memory?
If you open Activity Monitor and click on the "percentage" field it will order the processes so you can see which is taking up most.
You could try disconnecting from the internet to see if that makes a big improvement... if it does, maybe something wrong with a site you're visiting?

    You have nearly run out of disk space.  Either purchase a larger one or start cleaning out the one you have?

  • My macbook air became too slow, my macbook air became too slow

    Hi dear Mac users
    My macbook air became very slow.... is it because I have too many pics? or can I do some type of organization that I never did before?

    Saying it is running slow is a bit vague, can you be more specific about when/how it is running slow (i.e. what tasks/programs/actions are you undertaking when it runs slow?)
    It is doubtful that you have so many pics on your Air that it is running slow because of that, you'd have to have 10s of thousands of pictures to even come close to filling up the storage capacity of a 128 SSD (which I'm just guessing you have.)
    By "organization" I'm assuming you're referring either to doing a disk defrag (not necessary on Mac's, especially an SSD driven Air due to the nature of SSD read/write capabilites,) or you're referring to how you have your pictures arranged in files on your storage drive, which isn't likely to be the culprit, either.
    Given the lack of knowledge I'm going to guess that if you're noticing the slowness during normal operations it is probably going to be due to having too many CPU-intensive apps running at the same time (running flash based webpages is a major CPU hog as well as some high-res video or 3D apps/games.)
    Let us know more and I'm sure someone here can help you figure it out, though.
    Cheers!

  • Macbook Air running extremely slow - kernel_task at 300% cpu usage

    I purchased my Macbook Air roughly 15 months ago and it's performance has constantly been impressive since I purchased it - until roughly a fortnight ago. I came home from work one afternoon and it was running at a snails pace. I had recently upgraded to Yosemite though I'm unsure if this had anything to do with it. I had also recently installed FitBit software to sync to my new FitBit flex.
    It has continued to run in this manner constantly since the problem began. It is ridiculously slow, every single request takes a very long time to respond. Logging in takes forever. When I click on an app to open it, the icon bounces for 30 seconds or more, and it's not a smooth bounce either, it's quite a jagged bounce!
    I'm hoping someone is able to provide some advice, guidance or help. The laptop is no longer covered by the 12 month Manufacturer Warranty, and I did not purchase an Apple Care plan as no Apple product I've owned before has experienced issues like this.
    This whole experience is killing me! I'm suspecting hardware failure and I'm just so sad that this could happen to the laptop I've loved so much since I bought it!
    The problem:
    The kernel_task process is constantly running at 300% or higher cpu usage, with Activity Monitor indicating the processor is being maxed out by a system task. Also, the laptop's fan is constantly running at full capacity - from the moment the laptop turns on, or wakes up.
    What I think the problem might be:
    As a result of many, many Google searches, it appears that this behaviour may be due to the Macbook Air thinking it is overheating - and I will clarify here that it certainly is not. It is cool to touch, always, when this problem occurs. (yet the fan is almost taking off!). As a result of the MacBook Air thinking it's overheating, it not only is running the fan at a very high RPM (confirmed with iStat), but it also is intentionally choking the system with 'simple requests' in attempt to cool the computer down. Apparently this is a built-in feature of OS X. The kernel has priority over user tasks, causing all user tasks to be granted a lower priority, causing the computer to run INCREDIBLY SLOW. Even as I'm typing this, I'm about two sentences ahead of what is showing on the screen!
    Steps I have taken:
    - Read widely across the internet with every possible relevant search term I can think of
    - Downloaded iStat to see if any of the temperatures are too high (they all seemed fine..)
    - Disabled Bluetooth and Wifi. (no change)
    - Reset SMC (multiple times.., no change)
    - Reset PRAM (multiple times.., no change)
    - Drained the battery completely (2 or 3 times, no change)
    - Install Windows 7 on BootCamp in attempt to bypass the issue (CPU usage was 100% constantly in Windows also)
    - Uninstalled FitBit software (no change..)
    - Uninstalled other software I did not need (no change..)
    - Attempt to boot into Safe Mode / Recovery Mode (even in this modes, the same thing is happening)
    - Repaired Disk Permissions
    - Backed up all personal data
    - Used the built-in Internet Recovery mode to format my Macintosh HD and re-install a fresh copy of OS X (Mountain Lion). (no change…)
    - Re-upgrade to Yosemite (no change..)
    I've downloaded EtreCheck and here is the output:

    Hi,
    I have an update so I thought I would share in case any other users are experiencing a similar problem.
    I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
    I went in and they ran a thorough diagnostic check on my Macbook Air and determined that the sensors were indeed faulty - several were providing no information "No reading" instead of providing a temperature. Thus, the Air was unaware of the temperature across multiple components.
    Despite the laptop being outside the 12 Month Manufacturer Warranty, the Apple Store determined that it was covered under warranty through Australian Consumer Law - the laptop is now in for a complete repair under warranty at no cost to myself.
    I couldn't be happier.

  • Macbook Air is too slow to use

    My Macbook Air takes nearly 30 minutes to start up, and often even when I am just running 1-2 applications takes 10 minutes to respond to a key or click.
    OS X 10.6.8, 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB memory.
    For a while, running permission repairs weekly helped.
    I have cleared the cache form Firefox, stopped using Safari b/c it was too bulky.
    Activity monitor shows I still have 33 GB memory, and that the percent of processes running is low, even when the computer is slow.
    Sometimes everything freezes for 10 mintues, other times, I see the spinning disc for a long time.
    The worst is that each time the computer goes to sleep, it can take me 10-20 minutes to wake it up.
    Please tell me the hard drive isn't dying again--the first one that came with the machine died only 4 months after I'd had it, and this one is barly 2.5 years old.

  • New MacBook Air running really slow?!?!

    Hello everyone,
    Im new here and I hope I will find some help.
    I got A new MacBook Air ( 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 ) before xmas, on the 20th of Dec 2014... everything was ok, Im not moving it from its table...
    Since I got it, I find it really SLOW when browsing the net... my old one was like 5 years old, with an almost dead battery and it was working like it was new.... and my Bf's MacBook Pro is 2 years old and its working more than fine!
    Is it me being unlucky with it ??? Is it Yosemite??
    Do I have to go to have it checked ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Oana

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
    Try resetting PRAM, SMC and staring up in SafeMode.

  • Why is my MacBook Air running so slow now?

    I purchased my Air in October of last year (2013) so it's fairly new. I only use it for basics such as listen to movies, read articles, Youtube. On Saturday (5 days ago) my Mac froze up while I was listening to iTunes, so I held the power button down until it turned off. I let it rest for about 5 minutes then I tried to turn it back on, but nothing happened. No sound, no picture, nothing. I thought maybe the battery might be dead so I plugged it up & let it charge over night. The next day around noon or so I press the power button but nothing happened. I tried again the next day but nothing happened either. At this point I'm planning to head to the nearest Apple store to see what's wrong with my Mac. I tried to turn it on again on tuesday & to my surprise it came on. It took longer than usual to turn on but I was just happy it got that far. Two days later of using it to listen to music & browsing forums & I've easily noticed how much slower my computer is & now I can hear the inside of it louder than usual. It used to be super quick to do stuff on here & I couldn't even hear the inside of it & now it's the opposite. What could have caused or is causing this? I've never dropped it or spilled anything on it & I still have a lot of memory left on it. Any thoughts will help. Thanks

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • HT3964 My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. sometimes it never gets past the background. Cannot log back in.

    My MacBook Air running on Snow Leopard gets extremely slow (almost like a hang, except if you wait about half an hr, it actually moves) after login interface. Sometimes it never gets past the background of the homepage, desktop doesn't seem to load. After multiple forced shut downs and left to run for hours, sometimes the desktop loads but the dock does not respond when applications are opened. The computer is then unable to shut down normally. Forced shut downs are necessary most times. Time machine backup takes extremely long, and attempts to use the time machine to bring the laptop back to the time befiore the problem arose was met with extremely slow and hung time machine function.
    Please help!

    There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

  • HT1338 why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • My macbook air running slow even on recovery mode

    My macbook air running slow even on recovery mode when I press Alt + Power it takes me to Mac os Utilities the mouse barely moves, I erased every thing on the hard drive so I can install a fresh copy of mac os but I couldn't because every time I try to boot up from the USB that got the mac os it takes for ever to load the OS for installtion, and some times every thing freeze when I'm on the Mac os Utilities mode. Any ideas of what's going on ?

    Contact AppleCare or make an appt with your local Apple Store Genius. I don't think this is a problem we can help with.

  • Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). Any tips? Thanks!

    Suddenly my MacBook Air is very slow to boot up. It's about a year and a half old. I'm running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) -- and I'm far from being an expert at any of this stuff, have seen a few different answers and not sure what to do. Help! Grateful.

    Okay, I am having a try at this. My machine wouldn't boot this morning again (like I said, it's erratic, so I then did a "safe boot" and restarted. This is what I think (I hope...) you want. Here's the first part, tho you'll see I am struggling with Part 2.

    In Part 2, you say:
    DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports.
    BUT -- when I go into "System diagnostic reports" (and I have checked I'm clicking on the correct one) there's nothing in the log to the right, even when I click the arrow pointing down. Below that, on the left, it says FILES and then below that there's
    system.log
    kernel.log
    and then /Library/logs (twice) and /var/logs
    What am I doing wrong?
    Grateful for help.
